BareMinerals’ Velvet Green

A bit less pigmentation than I would have liked..but that seems to be the case with Bare Escentuals' mattes. This is a softer green with fairly neutral tones, so I don't have any problems wearing it, even though it isn't an obviously cooler green. (Warmer greens and I have kind of an understanding that we'll see other people.)

This is one of the velvet colors in this kit that performs fairly well. I still liked the satins better, both for pigmentation and for longevity; but when applied wet, this shade comes close to their level of performance. I wish that the applied color retained a bit more of the depth that this color showed in the pot. It looked just a little less warm, for one. The dry application looks more like a faintly sage-brown than a green, and is almost sheer.
